Understand: Not all human beings are children of God! Only those who receive and believe in Jesus ⚠️

John 1:

12 But as many as received him, he gave them power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name;

13 Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw his glory, as the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

And as a Son of God NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU FROM THIS LOVE!👇

From Darkness to Light

1 John 2:15

Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.

The closer we are to the presence of God, the more we want to move away from things that do not edify. All worldly things no longer attract us as they used to. As much as sometimes you find yourself wanting to do that, your heart returns weighing your conscience and you can't, because that only reminds you of the darkness you were without God in your life and you return to the light. The further away from the presence of God, from the light that He emanates in our lives, the closer to darkness you find yourself, the more willing to sin, the more willing to do things that we know do not please our Father. The enemy approaches through gap left and sends you temptations that they know will make you fall, and your eyes begin to get used to the darkness again. Darkness that brings you emptiness and loneliness, anguish and sadness.

Galatians 6:14

As for me, may I never boast in anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world was crucified, and the world's interest in me also died.

Let us pray to remain firm on the path of light, to never leave the presence of God, so that the world does not attract us. On the contrary, so that we increasingly want to be like Christ was, with a heart full of kindness and love, doing good works, knowing the truth.

 

Jesus was there that night where you asked for strength not to give up. Isaiah 41:10🙏🏽❤️

A boat that has Jesus also goes through difficulties, it just doesn't sink. The difference is that with Jesus we can walk on water and He can calm the storm!🙏🏽❤️

 Don't commit this murder! 🔥

1 Corinthians 15:33-34 warns us about the devastating influence of bad company and the danger of giving in to sin. Satan not only wants to divert us from God's path, but also destroy our faith in Christ. Sin deforms us, takes us away from the presence of God and makes us lose the identity we received in Christ. Wake up while there's still time!

Do not allow sin to kill your new Self reborn in the waters of baptism.

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

 

 

Our prophetic destiny will be fulfilled

Grace and peace!

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Having said this, he was lifted up on high as they looked, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

And they stared at the sky as he ascended. Suddenly two men dressed in white appeared before them,

who said to them, "Galileans, why are you looking up to heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will return in the same way as you saw him go up."

(Acts 1:8-11)

These were Jesus' last words before he was lifted up in a cloud as his disciples watched him disappear from view. Those who denied him, those who fled because they did not want to follow him through Golgotha, because they were afraid, because they feared the cross, were there before the resurrected Jesus. He was not just showing them the power of the resurrection, he was bringing them new news: that the Holy Spirit would come upon them and they would be witnesses to speak with boldness and authority, to pray for the sick, to declare freedom to those oppressed by the devil.

This good news was also for us, because from the moment the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost, all believers would receive the power of God to defeat darkness, sin and the world, to be his witnesses and speak to the people about this. Jesus everywhere.

The word says that while he was telling them this, he ascended into heaven and the angels announced that just as he had departed, he would return a second time in a cloud to this earth. He will return to his church, the church, which follows in his footsteps regardless of the difficulties and circumstances, which follows in his footsteps in the midst of miracles, but also in the midst of the suffering of Golgotha. Thanks to the fact that those disciples decided to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, today you and I can know this Word, that Word that did not remain dead two thousand years ago, but today is alive and effective.

We can have hope, we can remain firm until his second coming because 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 will be fulfilled, which says: “For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.” and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.”

We will see our prophetic destiny fulfilled, which is to enjoy heaven and eternal life.

Let us pray:

Thank you, beloved Jesus, because with your resurrection you gave me victory, fill me with your Holy Spirit because I want to assert myself in your path, because I want to be your witness and proclaim your Name until you return, thank you because your Word is faithful and true and you will keep your promise to come back for me. In the name of Jesus, amen.
